I rather like Groin's location too. Lovely reminder of what we're all doing on the Barrow-Downs in the first place! Back to the books, I love it!

Random Title #948
I like Rune's current location, though I'm not sure it's new or not. It reminds me of a book I finished reading recently.

Random Titles read books.
The Thrall's Tale by Judith Lindbergh. It isn't one of my favorites, but it's alright. The book held my attention despite being a historical novel when I normally prefer fantasy/sci-fi, so I'll give it some credit.

Gwath! Unless your location is a joke (which I don't see why it would be) I am completely shocked, in a good way of course. Congratulations; you'll name your first born after me of course!

Well, Gwath, I've heard it's a nice place. But if they build a massive shopping centre there the whole town will go down hill... Wait, 'Just Married' is a place, isn't it?

I have never read that book, but I have spend many hours in bookshops wondering if I should purchase it or not.

No, I've actually promised my firstborn to my current employer. But we'll see what we can do about the second-born, as long as your name is something good and Irish.

Congratulations, Gwath! You may find out, I think, that marriage is a lot like Werewolf - as much fun, as addictive, as difficult at times and full of surprises, and nothing beats firsthand experience!

Wow, congratulations Gwathagor!
And as long as the name isn't Celeborn's other name, it can't be that bad edit: And yes, Gwathagor does have the BEST location.

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping that at some point in the future I'll be able to bring my wife to at least visit the Downs, and maybe stay a while, too. We'll see.

Not really a signature but I figured this is the best thread for this Nerwen's location "Through the looking glass" being upsidedown is pretty awesome.

Now that you mention it, I've always enjoyed that one too - Lewis Carol is great!

I nominate TheGreatElvenWarrior's new signature. Obscure geographical areas are indeed great places to reside!

Is it the Mount Gundabad while it was a dwarven stronghold? If so, I whole heartily agree with the nomination. Dwarves are cool to hang out with.

I have to say that that I'd rather hang out with hobbits than dwarves, but dwarves are cool too.

Lush's, most definitely.
Not just because we share musical inclinations, but because it's such a wonderful line in the song.

I think it should be mandatory to copy the location you praise into the post. . . It would be a great help for people like me who only check in every now and then.

I really enjoy Glirdan's "Where Lark Nor Eagle Ever Flew" location. It brings me back to my high school band days when we played a song by that title. Of course we remained it "Where Clark Nor Eagle Ever Flew" after the soloist.

Being, well, me and all and only dreaming to be this nerdy some day, I'd like to throw in Hookbill's current location.
